44 years old and having I.V.F help to have a baby thanks too bastard "this Generation" lies!! Wife wants kids in 2016! My story.

by Witness 007 in

as a young witness married couple in the 1990's we knew "this generation" of 1914 did not have long to go!

oh how cute a young pioneer couple we were.

we wont have kids till "afew more years pass" and we are in the new system.

Hi there and remember CALM DOWN SIR!! YOU MUSTN'T GET WORKED UP OR YOU WONT GET PREGNANT!!!That said, I wish you all the luck in the world..give it your ALL because u will never. Ever find anything that gives u more joy than kids of your own.

This is what I HATE so so so much about the org. I remember reading it was Ray Franze's only real regret...having no kids. I am so glad u are in a position to have kids but DO try to keep the misses stress free..enjoy yourselves , have the odd drink too( I think getting too worked up and health freaky has the opposite effect).

Thank goodness you and darkknight757 realized in time before it really WAS too late. Had my twins at 40...don't worry!!!

Evolution is a Fact #7 - Human Egg Yolk Gene

by cofty in

exploring the human genome is like roaming around an historic town.

some places are pristine and obviously still in everyday use.

others have been unused for a while and starting to show signs of decay and if you look carefully there are relics of buildings that were abandoned long ago.. in this post we are going to look at a gene that we still carry in every cell in our body but which fell into disuse 10s of millions of years ago.. humans are placental mammals.

Diogenesister

I'm pretty certain you can see a vestigial yolk sac on a human fetus ...its called an umbilical vesicle...

Volunteer workers pushed to renounce to their social rights

by sp74bb in

surprisingly in spain, a large quantity of bethel volunteers (nice to words to say workers) have received their letter telling they are not anymore required.

in this country, government obliged bethel to give social rights such as basic social security (doctors, etc..) to the volunteers as they understand that it is a business relationship.. all of them have been pushed to sign a letter stating they renounce to their work and then go outside bethel with not a single right (unemployment, etc...).

it is really unfortunately but silly from bethel office to arrange it this way.

Diogenesister

hey're a disgrace of a printing company. They want all the benefits wider society provide but refuse to acknowledge any social responsibility themselves.

THIS ^^^^ sums up their whole attitude to everything - from donated blood fractions to human rights law when it benefits the org

JW Expressions We Hate

i was browsing through stuff on jw.org recently and ran across some expressions that really grate on my nerves: loyal love, loving-care, and loving-kindness, as in: "please exercise loving-kindness toward your servant.

" who talks like that?

they must be relics of the fred franz era.

Diogenesister

Anything with " ONES" in like "HONEST HEARTED ONES" especially "THESE ONES". Ughhh!!

Evidently!!!

Really, then......( some bs)

Never would we want to......( some bs)

SPIRITUAL FOOOOOOD ( especially the way David Splane says it)

GOVERNING BWOHDY (the way Toni morris 3rd says it)

Christ Jesus ( not Jesus Christ)

This system of things ( what a mouthful) I like ' the man' better

I was ashamed

by Happeanna in

jw
friends

i was once a person who believed in god destroying 7 billion people so a few people could live in paradise.. when the penny finally dropped and i realised what as a jehovah's witnesses i was really praying for , it made me feel sick.

what is attractive about a person that prays for this world to end .

i was ashamed to have been a witness deeply ashamed .

Diogenesister

Paul from Cleveland I can totally relate to everything you said, I was very much the same.

Prediction time: just has i told my wife a month ago, the 144000 is not a litteral number and the GB are the only anointed

by goingthruthemotions in

so things have been calm so far...knock on wood!!!

but i was thinking today...a month ago in one of our arguments.

i told her the 144000 was not to considered a literal number.

Diogenesister

I agree, I've always said the only anointed will end up being the GB...let's face it they are now effectively. All other ' ordinary' anointed are looked upon with suspicion and scorn, unless they are, like, 95 years old and were imprisoned for neutrality or something.

Constant out-of-context quoting; how do Writing dept. cope with that?

by Anders Andersen in

i am just wondering here: almost every single quote in jw literature for which a source can be found, is taken out of context..

personally, i have checked almost every quote in the 5-questions brochure, some on dating and the cross in reasoning book, and some in magazine articles i found interesting..

just checked the "they envisioned a universe subject to whims of gods" quote in the feb 2016 awake..

Diogenesister

It's always amazed me just how deceptive the WT writers are with their quote mining, out of context quotes and other devices used to mislead...there is literally almost never an honest and appropriately used quote in their work.

It leads me to suspect they are either insane or in complete denial , are pathological liars or they cannot honestly believe the garbage they print..its impossible, surely???
